Residents of Ughelli South Local Government Area have been urged to take full advantage of the ongoing Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise to ensure active participation in the 2027 general elections.

The call was made by Chief (Mrs.) Eguonor Taleb-Tebite, Executive Assistant on Women Mobilization to the Governor of Delta State, while addressing a group of women in the area. She emphasized that voter registration is a civic duty and a key step toward strengthening democracy.

“This is a critical opportunity to ensure that our voices are heard and our votes are counted in the upcoming 2027 general elections. All eligible voters should take full advantage of the ongoing INEC continuous voter registration exercise to register,” Taleb-Tebite stated.

She urged residents who have misplaced their voter cards, relocated, or never registered to seize the opportunity, and called on parents and guardians to ensure that young people who have just turned 18 also register to exercise their franchise.

Taleb-Tebite also encouraged the people of Ughelli South to support Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori in his re-election bid, describing voter participation as a way to recognize the governor’s efforts in delivering democratic benefits that have positively impacted citizens’ lives.

Praising Oborevwori’s leadership style, she described him as “a pace setter with a track record of consistent action rather than mere words”, and lauded his equitable distribution of developmental projects across Delta State. She concluded by reaffirming her commitment to the governor’s M.O.R.E. Agenda.
